drizzle |ˈdrizəl| noun light rain falling in very fine drops Come rain or shine was what I read on the Leap Sandcastle Classic’s website this past weekend. Wouldn’t you know, after a serious drought in California for the last four years, on this particular weekend, the Bay Area saw some much needed rain! A little rain didn’t stop us from […]

chef |SHef| noun a professional cook, typically the chief cook in a restaurant or hotel. Three years old, I tell ya, this age has given me a run for my money. I hear it being called “Threenager” often, and I have to say, it’s pretty accurate. One moment he is the sweetest little guy, the next minute a holy terror. It’s constantly […]

tradition |trəˈdiSHən| noun a long-established custom or belief that has been passed on in this way As a Mom I am just in the beginning stages of creating traditions for my son.

greeting |ˈgrētiNG| noun a polite word or sign of welcome or recognition Season’s Greetings! Too early you say? Not for this family. They are prepared for the impending holidays.

July |jo͝oˈlī| noun (pl. Julys) the seventh month of the year, in the northern hemisphere usually considered the second month of summer: July is a favorite month of mine.

ease |ēz| noun absence of difficulty or effort I’d love to say that each session I do starts out immediately with an absence of difficulty or effort, but that would be a lie.
